Well known for his work with children, on stage and in the studio, based around the fictional character of Ego le Cachalot, Rennes-born David Delabrosse has also enjoyed a fine solo career over the last thirty years, writing bittersweet songs and biting refrains. In other words, three elaborate albums (13m2, Le son de l’hallali, Le Modèle réduit de nos pensées) featuring Yann Tiersen and Françoise Breut, and now a new one, Les mots modernes, produced with singer and multi-instrumentalist Denis Piednoir, with finely chiselled arrangements that he’ll be giving us a taste of for this concert on his home turf!

BIOGRAPHY
> DAVID DELABROSSE (France)
From his base in Rennes, France, David Delabrosse has spent the last twenty years developing his own unique world of song, combining two complementary styles for adults and children. Solo, over the course of four albums and shows, with encounters and adventures with Yann Tiersen, Françoise Breut and Lionel Laquerrière, melancholic and cheeky songs, with chiselled literary texts and meticulous harmonies: 13m2 (2006), Le son de l’hallali (2011), Le Modèle réduit de nos pensées (2020), (Toujours) deux (2022) and Les mots modernes (2026). For children, after a meeting with visual artist Marina Jolivet, the zany and energetic musical adventures of Ego le Cachalot… With more than 25,000 copies sold and over 400 performances across France and French-speaking countries, and an impressive three-album anniversary box set released in autumn 2022 (Télérama and Paris Mômes), Ego has become a heavyweight in children’s entertainment.
